Harlequin rabbits are not considered rare; they are a popular breed known for their distinctive coat patterns and coloration. They are fairly easy to find through reputable breeders, rabbit shows, and fairs in the UK.
A Harlequin rabbit is identified by its unique coat pattern featuring a distinctive mix of two colours arranged in bands or bars. There are two main types: Japanese Harlequins, with orange combined with black, blue, chocolate, or lilac, and Magpie Harlequins, where white replaces orange. The ideal Harlequin has a sharply divided face, alternating coloured ears, and matching feet, with symmetrical, divided coat markings.
Yes, Harlequin rabbits are known for their friendly and playful nature. They are curious, affectionate towards their caretakers, and can be quite independent. They generally get along well with people, including children (with supervision), and enjoy attention such as petting and gentle strokes.
The cost of a Harlequin rabbit in the UK typically ranges between £15 and £75, depending on factors like whether the rabbit is show or pet quality, the quality of its markings, and its pedigree.
